'If only' is the excuse of the loser; 'I can' is the affirmation of the winner.

Real optimism is exposed to the worst but expects the best.

Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.

Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.

Enthusiasm is the match that lights the candle of achievement.

Everyone has a common, yet unique, responsibility to the future: to make the most of today.
